Click on the letter then, from the 'Drawing Tools' tab, click on the 'Position' icon and choose whichever kind of centring you want.

Note: You'll need to switch to Print Layout view to see the letter properly centred.

Itried all those options but it only moves the shape with the M inside.I could not get the M inside the shape to be in the centre...maybe i missed something

The problem you're having with that is that the M is too large to fit the circle because of the glyph space that the character has above the letter. That exists to ensure an adequate space between rows of text. You have three options:
1. Choose a font with less glyph space above the letter;
2. Use a smaller font; or
3. Use a textbox for the M and a separate shape for the circle.

For the third option, insert the M into a separate, transparent textbox, then position it over the circle. Once you have them aligned correctly, you can group the objects so they move together.
